Review summary

Overall, a fun and enjoyable cruise. Atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, easy to meet people. Port heavy which takes some planning or it stops being relaxing. Definately will cruise this ship again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Crowded on the outside with no organization. Took a few minutes to crowd inside. Once inside it was quick and efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room was lovely. Food was good, but not to Celebrity pre-COVID standards. Speciality restaurant - the Porch is a great idea, but food was disappointing. La Petite Chef was a great experience. Buffet is overall good with a selection of options.bars were top notch with great service.

Onboard Activities

We enjoyed some of the activities (games and trivia). Options were more limited. We miss karaoke. But great staff.
